Australia 326 & 276
England 155 & 166
Result -Australia win the final Ashes Test at the SCG by 281 runs and the series 5-0.
The final ignominy is complete. One of
England’s worst Test series defeats, and only the third Ashes whitewash,
was complete within three miserable days of the final Test as they
capitulated at the SCG in another abject, sorrowful surrender

Australia should be commended for such a stunning performance against a team that beat them less than 6 months back. Johnson and Haddin were the definite stars while Clarke,Warner,Rogers,Watson,Smith,Harris,Siddle and Lyon all played their part. Eagerly await the series in South Africa.
